     Am               Em
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.
        Am                   Fmaj7
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.
     Am                 Em
When we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
      Am                  Fmaj7
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.

      Am       F       C     G
'Cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life,
   Am       F       C     G
The chains I been hearing now for most of my life.

         C              Fmaj7
Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on grandmother's radio?
         Am        G         Fmaj7
Did you hear the rattling chains.... in the hospital walls?
         C                 Fmaj7
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
         Am       G    Fmaj7
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?

     Am              Em
And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
       Am                          Fmaj7
See, I was playing a show down the road when your spirit left your body.
     Am               Em
And they told me on the front lawn. I'm sorry I couldn't go,
    Am                           Fmaj7
But I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons.


    Am         F      C    G
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
  Am         F      C    G
I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang

Seeing as almost all of Gaslight's songs from this album are in D tuning, I
was pretty sure I could make it work for this song too. I took a look at a
few live videos, and this is definitely what he's playing, especially in the
